Who put a crown on Obama’s head? IMPERIAL MARGARINE, not margin.

I noticed Obama’s gray hair shortly after he had his meeting with former president Clinton. This was a short time before the September 11 memorial. The first time I noticed 0bama’s gray hair was at the memorial. I figured 0bama was just following Clinton's instructions that it would make him look more mature and experienced. Clinton dyed his hair more and more gray during each of his runs for the White House. If you compare the pictures of 0bama walking with McCain the day of the memorial, compared to his acceptance speech in front of the columns, you can see the difference in his hair color is quite striking.

They have a fainter in North Carolina. The messiah has summoned an EMT to the front of the crowd. He makes me sick too.

Did you make a wrong turn from the DU? McCain totally cleaned Obama’s clock.

While I am glad that others felt that, my criticisms of McCain are more helpful to him in this election than flowers and chocolate. He needs to rest and prepare for the next one, and underneath his factual, calm responses (which now we know he can deliver w/o any rehearsal at all!) he should be slipping in facts about Obama that the world needs to know. He should be stressing some of the major differences that he overlooked last night.

You’re so in the tank for Barack Hussein Obama.

Au contraire. The more I learn about him, the more afraid I am of him in the White House. While Gore and Kerry were merely incompetent Democrat boobs, this guy has so many truly frightening connections that he could make some wrong turns that would be difficult to ever navigate back from.

See my previous. I think the priority today, armchair quarterbacking as we are, is to give McCain constructive criticism for his next head-to-head with Obama. He missed a lot of opportunities. He was able in the 2nd half to easily knock Obama onto his heels a couple of times. There is NO reason McCain can't be, in the next debate, keeping Obama more firmly on the stammering defensive, and at the same time opening up some very fascinating information about Obama that the public has yet to learn of.

Remember that we are running against the mainstream media as well.

High-fiving McCain today doesn't help our cause as much as what I said does.

I am convinced that Barrie may be at least BI and most probably Gay. Basketball players are well developed muscular men, not the emaciated boneyards typical of Barrie’s physical structure. Barrie’s very close documented relationship with Reggie Love, his “Butler”, is interesting. But his congradulatory handshake last night from Michelle last night without a kiss or a hug is the proverbial Cherry on top of the Chocolate Decadence.
Nothing wrong with this, if true?, but its not good to hide as a public figure e.g. John Edwards, Larry Craig, etc. Thats all!

Luntz is a hack out to make a buck, and he cares for naught about Intellectual Honesty. FOX should dump him, FOX would be better off having Campbell Brown run their Fair and Balanced Polls!

Either Michelle sat on a pint of strawberries, or she got her period during the debate :-)

Let me phrase it this way.

I think the polls are lies.

They are not "pure" random samples of people called totally at random.

They call people at random, and then ask the people to self-identify as Democrats, Republicans, independents, women, men, whatever.

Then they Make sure the final composition they report is 42% Democrat to 35% Republican, and so on.

And by changing the percentages in that last step, they can get the polls to swing quite a bit in either direction.

And then you have the "I'd better say I'm voting for Obama so I won't look like a racist" effect.

(And availability of more likely left-leaning voters at different times of the day or week, registered vs. likely voters, and so on.)

It's not as clear cut as the PR surrounding the polls would have you believe.

Cheers!

Alright, look I’m sorry. I got a little emotional and carried away last night.

Haven’t you ever sat there and watched your favorite football team play, and cursed at the TV and demand that they trade all the bums after a bad interception? That’s what I felt like.

Upon further review McCain did well over all and clearly won the debate. Sticking with the football analogy, Obama is the equivalent of your local Junior High School’s Junior Varsity football team.

IOW, just because you beat them, doesn’t make you the ‘85 Bears, ‘77 Cowboys, ‘88 49ers or ‘78 Steelers.
